My Friend:
The name Katrina means pure. The dictionary defines pure as ... free from adulterants or impurities, free of dirt, defilement, or pollution, containing nothing inappropriate or extraneous. It has been previously stated that Katrina was a cleansing, a washing way for those cities & states that have been known for sin.
Calculated stats indicate that Katrina hit almost 5 years to the date of 9/11. But to be a little more exact it had been 1,814 days since 9/11. Here is what Revelations chapter 18, verses 14-19 (1814) says.
Revelation 18:
14: And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.
15: The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing.
** Merchants are those who supported the sin. **
16: And saying, alas, alas that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!
** Purple & gold (The colors of Mardi Gras) **
17: For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off.
** One hour, about the length of time that Katrina stayed over New Orleans. **
18: And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!
19: And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
Desolate - Devoid of inhabitants
Devoid - Completely lacking; destitute or empty
Inhabitant - One that inhabits a place, especially as a permanent resident
My Response
Uhhhhhhh. Whomever did this couldn't count! Therefore, I've made some corrections and added a new twist!
The name Katrina is debate. It could mean "pure." Katrina is also traced to the Gaelic form of Katherine and could originate from the goddess Hecate --meaning "distant." Hecate was a goddess of demons and the underworld.
Calculated statistics state that it was almost FOUR years between 9/11/2001 and 8/29/2005. Whoever wrote that should get a better stat calculator! Maybe new batteries!
It was 3 years, 11 months, 18 days. OR 1448 days OR 206 weeks between the two dates.
1 Kings 19 tells of Elijah encountering a storm
Verse 3: Elijah was afraid and fled for his life, going to Beer-sheba of Judah. He left his servant there.
**** There was plenty of Beer in New Orleans****
Verse 11: Then the Lord said, "Go outside and stand on the mountain before the Lord: the Lord will be passing by." A strong and heavy wind was rending the mountains and crushing rocks before the Lord--but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake--but the Lord was not in the earthquake
****Hurricanes have high winds****
Verse 18: Yet I will leave seven thousand men in Israel--all those who have not knelt to Baal or kissed him.
****Ba'al meant lord or master, and was though to control clouds and the weather...just as a hurricane controls weather...the people in the Superdome, over 7,000, refused to bow to the storm****
Proverbs 14:4-8 states:
"Where there are no oxen, the crib remains empty; but large crops come through the strength of the bull. A truthful witness does not lie, but a false witness utters lies. The senseless man seeks in vain for wisdom, but knowledge is easy to the man of intelligence. To avoid the foolish man, take steps! But knowing lips one meets with by surprise. The shrewd man's wisdom gives him knowledge of his way, but the folly of fools is their deception."
***folly: A lack of good sense, understanding, or foresight***senseless: lacking sense***deception: using deceit!
Genesis 2:06: But a stream was welling up out of the earth and was watering all the surface of the ground.
***levies are earth holding back water!
What this all means is that there are many people with too much time on their hands!
